Ela James 10 #1 Posted July 24, 2013 Listening to the news, or watching Newsnight .. or checking the BBC website for any news … I often end up with this impression: sometimes I feel the UK media pays more attention to news related to far away places ( an example would be the Middle East ) than what is happening here correct me if you feel I am wrong Share this post Link to post Share on other sites Share this content via...

Electerrific 14 #3 Posted July 24, 2013 I'm disgusted that there are no more Political scandals involving eroticism, oranges and rope (90's Tories?). Share this post Link to post Share on other sites Share this content via...
andygardener 10 #4 Posted July 24, 2013 I'm disgusted that there are no more Political scandals involving eroticism, oranges and rope (90's Tories?). A New York mayoral candidate Mr Weiner apparently keeps sending photos of his "weiner" to strangers at the moment. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites Share this content via...

SqueakyPete 10 #6 Posted July 24, 2013 I am purposely avoiding the news at the moment,as my gag reflexes can't take no more! It does make you wonder though,what stories would have made the news this week,if the royal baby wasn't due. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites Share this content via...

Chumley 10 #8 Posted July 24, 2013 2000 Syrians have died since I typed this True. And I was sat on a beach in Rhodes last week reflecting that it was happening only 500 miles away. That's like sitting on a beach in Devon while genocide takes place in Scotland. If nothing else, the news reminds us how lucky we are.

Alien52 10 #10 Posted July 24, 2013 Such as death, misery and disaster, yes its always more pleasant to hear about those things. If only the Windsors could produce a baby everyday,we would all be so much happier. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites Share this content via...

biotechpete 10 #12 Posted July 24, 2013 I actually much prefer bbc world news to bbc news. Problem is we get very little interesting news from around the whole world. There's loads going on in Asia that we never hear about. Posted from Sheffieldforum.co.uk App for Android Share this post Link to post Share on other sites Share this content via...
